What does "Opfer" mean?
Ok maybe this is a stupid question, but....
Sometimes when I watch a German video on YouTube and I'll see "_____ ist ein OPFER!!!!" in the comments. The dictionaries define it as a "victim" or "sacrifice", but it still makes no absolutely sense to me. I'm guessing that it is used as an insult, but can someone tell me what it means in English/what an English equivalent would be?
Someone once told me that the Turks use it to call someone "white trash", but I'm not sure if that is correct.....??
